Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,480 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07 at MKJS Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The takeoff distance was 3,954 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 93°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,060 feet above sea level to 35,960 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,899 feet in 24 minutes and covering 158 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of Guaimaro, Cuba, and lasted for 119 minutes, covering 931 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south of KEMV Emporia Greensville Regional Airport in Emporia, Virginia, and descended from 36,052 feet above sea level to 23,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,976 feet in 10 minutes and covering 67 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile northeast of Hanover, Virginia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 8 miles southeast of Bowling Green, Virginia, and descended from 22,644 feet above sea level to 1,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,325 feet in 20 minutes and covering 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to landing was made at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, with the aircraft descending from 1,166 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level in 5 seconds. The touchdown speed was 152 knots, which was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 490 feet beyond the touchdown zone.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 95°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 129°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The landing rollout took place at an altitude of 137 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 4,273 feet.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,250 nautical miles, taking 191 minutes, and the aircraft used 18,359 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport with a score of 82.9%. The final approach to landing was executed from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 1,166 ft above ground level (agl). As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it began its descent from 44 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 44 ft in just 5 seconds. This rapid descent indicates a steep approach angle, which is a common technique used to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 152 kt, which was slightly above the desired speed. However, the touchdown rate of -312 fpm was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. Unfortunately, the touchdown point was 490 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 95 °F and a wind speed of 4 kt from a direction of 129 °. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the tailwind component was 4 kt. Despite these conditions, the aircraft landed safely and rolled out to a distance of 4,273 ft at an altitude of 137 ft above sea level (asl).
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, particularly in the face of challenging weather conditions. The pilots' ability to execute a safe and controlled touchdown, despite a slightly fast speed and deviation from the touchdown zone, is a testament to their training and experience.
